I am finding out a bit more around Learning Analytics. There was a hotseat a couple of weeks ago as part of the Networked Learning conference. This looked at Learning Analytics as a dream, nightmare or fairy dust. There was quite a lot of support for the nightmare take. The dark side is always of interest for academics.

It seems to me that if you accept statistics then quality assurance follows pretty soon. Statistical process control comes out of manufacturing so people in universities may form a resistance. But there may be some aspects that are worth a look.
